There is an upcoming documentary about the six surviving Chinese
sailors in Third Class that survived the sinking and were never
heard from again (thanks to racial discrimination). This
researchers were tasked into finding pictures of the men and find
out how long did they live and meet with their relatives.

“It took three months to build and dress the main Titanic
stage. We can have 250 people on deck at any one time, but once
you’ve got 50 to 60 crew members, plus our stuntmen and actors, it
adds up to 250 quite quickly” - Producer Chris Thompson

DiCaprio and Winslet, unless idiotic with their finances, should
be more than financially secure. It would be nice if they
could just give the people what they want and work with people,
recruiting as many as they can to make a low (or high) budget
YouTube video that implements the fire theory that was recently put
out.

I just like actors to do things for their fans and it would
stretch the actors' creativity.

I know this theory is pretty much taboo, but it is interesting.
What are your thoughts on it? Is the wreck at the bottom of the
Atlantic really Olympic, there on purpose all in a big insurance
scam? Is it possible? Highly unlikely, but really compelling
evidence. Thoughts?...

When I first gained an interest in the Titanic, I
was somewhat younger and less observant of historical accuracy, so
I tended not to notice if a work of fiction contained a historical
error. At the time, I just read as many books featuring
the Titanic as I could.

However, now that I'm older, as I read works of fiction set on
the Titanic, I notice a lot of little things, or
common errors that seem repetitive among not-fully-researched
historical fictions.

Common errors I tend to come across in books:

1. Boat Launch Sequence of Events

Authors seem to like to reorder the launch sequence of the
boats. Or maybe it's more that they just don't look it up and get
that particular detail straight, I suppose.

I am building the largest Titanic model in South Africa called
the "TINTANIC" model ship. I am also writing a book about the
construction of this most wonderful model which is three phase -
called "TINTANIC, Practically Unthinkable!". I am writing the
chapters to include 1912 historical events which occured on the
Titanic time line featuring passengers and crew of the voyage of
importance or relevance, then including historical archival
information (story line) from the now closed Titanic Society of
South Africa (of which I own all the rights pertaining to documents
etc.) and finally writing about the "TINTANIC" model - documenting
her meticulous construction down to the rivet.

For a few years I thought that the Titanic would have
survived if she had hit the Iceberg head-on. However I did not take
into account until just a little while ago the force that that
would have created. A 46,000 ton ship traveling 22 knots hits an
iceberg weighing a minimum of 100,000 tons, the collision would
create a powerful force that causes incredible destruction. The
impact would cause the ship's structure to flex, popping rivets and
splitting seams, just as in the actual collison, but in this case
along the ENTIRE length of the hull, opening up several more
compartments to the sea. This is a scenario
where Titanic would have sunk in minutes, rather
than hours. If anyone thinks this therory is wrong please leave a
comment. I also f…

Happy 101's anniversary, Titanic! It's sad that you had to hit
the iceberg and sink below the waters of the Atlantic 101 years ago
today, but one thing is for sure: you will never be forgotten as
long as I or anyone else lives. In memory of the 1500 people who
went down with the ship that fateful, cold night. May you live on
forever in the truly unsinkable Titanic known as Heaven! God bless
everyone!

Remember back when you first heard of Titanic. Why were
you fascinated with a disaster at sea almost a century ago?
What got you drawn to it? Did you watch a documentary
about it? Did you watch an old black and white film? Or
was it a love story where Titanic was the background of the story?
If you didn't watch about it, what got you started from
either learning it about at school or reading a book about.
Love to hear how everyone got their beginning.

I just found something new out. After watching a special on
History Channel about the Titanic, I learned that there were
two main suspension joints. The forward suspension joint was near
where the bow was. And then the aft suspension joint was where the
ship broke in two. This means that if the suspension joint was
stronger, the ship may not have broken in two, that it broke in two
because of the weak aft suspension joint. Should we put this on the
page or not?

If you're on the Titanic Wiki, you're clearly more than aware
that Titanic is being re-released in 3-D on April 4th, 2012. In
fact, you've probably already bought your tickets (if not, click
here). What you may not know is that Harper Design as just come out
with a brand new paperback edition of the best-selling book
James Cameron's Titanic. The re-issue features a slick new
cover (at right) and a new foreword by Cameron himself, who has
been in the news recently for becoming the first man to descend
into the Mariana Trench, the deepest and most unexplored part of
the ocean and the world. Hmmm, I wonder where he caught the
deep-sea exploration bug?

Anyway, the new book's most redeeming feature is the inclusion
of 26 never-before-seen images …
